narrowly winged, the keel or wing hispid-ciliate. Corolla-tube 
very slender, about 7 mm long, the lobes prominently nerved, pur- 
ple, about 5 mm long and 2.4 mm wide, elliptic-ovate, obtuse. 
Fertile stamens 5, the connectives broad ; anthers about 1 mm 
wide and 0.3 mm long. 
Leyte, Buenavista, near Jaro, C. A. Wenzel 102U, July 25, 1914, in 
forests, altitude about 500 meters. 
A species apparently belonging in the group with Cyanotis cristata R. & 
S., but entirely different in its inflorescence. It is strongly characterized by 
its terminal, long-peduncled inflorescence, the flowers scorpioid and inclosed 
by two imbricate, large, very unequal bracts, the bracteoles numerous, 
lanceolate, imbricate, about 4 mm in length.

A tree about 20 m high, quite glabrous except the obscurely 
gray-puberulent inflorescences, cups, and more distinctly pubes- 
cent fruits. Branches terete, brownish, smooth, obscurely lenti- 
cellate, the young branchlets quite glabrous. Leaves alternate, 
coriaceous, pale and shining when dry, ovate to ovate-elliptic, 7 
to 11 cm long, 3.5 to 7 cm wide, base acute, apex rather abruptly 
and prominently acuminate, the acumen rather slender, blunt, 
usually about 1 cm long, the upper surface pale or pale greenish 
when dry, strongly shining, the lower surface paler than the 
upper, dull or slightly shining, the nerves pale brownish ; lateral 
nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, very prominent, nearly 
straight, somewhat ascending; petioles brownish, about 1 cm 
long. Male spikes axillary, solitary in the upper axils, up to 
10 cm long, obscurely puberulent, the flowers mostly in scattered 
fascicles of threes. Fruiting spikes up to 9 cm long, gray-puber- 
ulent, the rachis rather stout, the fruits up to 12 in each spike.
